FlowEngine Brochure

Data traffic is exploding on carrier mobile, fixed-line and MSO networks. Mobile operators are moving towards Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) to enable higher network capacities to support this traffic and minimize their operating expenditures. Elastic scaling is a central need for Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), and with higher scaling requirements, a turnkey solution is needed for network packet brokering and load balancing.

The FlowEngine TDE-2000 is a High Density L2-L5 networking device which helps service providers to scale with agility, and reduce the network complexity associated with large scale SDN and NFV deployments.

The FlowEngine TDE-2000 is designed to operate in both data center and telecommunications environments that demand high network throughput, scalability and guaranteed performance in a small form factor. The Flow Engine delivers 2.0 Tbps L2-L3 and 600 Gbps of bidirectional flow-based intelligent load balancing with additional capacity for L4-L5 user services.

FlowEngine – Service Delivery Benefits for Carrier Networks

Service Function Chaining (SFC):

The need for rapid service creation and on-demand scaling requires a solution which can help compose services by chaining network functions.

The FlowEngine enables core network agility through service function chaining (SFC). Service Function Chaining is an architectural tenet which helps achieve these goals:

The FlowEngine implements efficient load balancing algorithms to provide operators programmable access to load balancing policies and access control rules. This applies equally to control plane and data plane load balancing in the network.
